    def root = new XmlParser( false, true ).parseText( holder )

      root.'**'.findAll() {

        //The new node will be added after rootNode
        if ( it.name().toString().contains( rootNode.substring(2,rootNode.length()) )) { 
           int nodeCount = 0
           def insertPoint = it.parent().children().find { 
              nodeCount++

              // Find the node in the list of nodes
              it.name().toString().contains( rootNode.substring(2,rootNode.length()))
           }
        it.parent().children().add( nodeCount , fragmentToAdd ) //Add new node at the specified point.
      }
    }
    String outxml = groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize( root )

    request = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName( "SOAPRequest" )
    request.getProperty("request").setValue( outxml )
